It stands to reason that If housework

' It would cease to be the bugbear that It

have It to do would be great, and their
leisure would be sweet. ,
Any work which takes more time and
energy for Its accomplishment than it

the fault that women find with house
work. It must be done, over and over
again. But when a woman has put all
of her best energies Into it. day after
day and year after year, all that has
been accomplished, she feels, is that
the family have had a reasonably clean
: and decent place In which to eat and
sleep. 60 much as that should be ac

Chives for the Garden.
THIS is a vegetable not widely known
in this country, although it is na
tive along the northern borders
of the United States as well as In
mml Tin rt et YTtirnn vh.ru It la nnn.
. . - . -
' The plant belongs to the onion family,
and Its leaves are used for seasoning In
soups, salads, etc., and are preferred to
onions by many persons because they
are mucn better and more tender. Eu
ropeans use chives for seasoning scram
bled eggs and similar dishes.
The culture of the chives is simple.
The plant will grow in any ordinary
garden soil, it Is usually propagated by
division of the roots, because it does not
seed readily. The roots or clumps of
Toots may bjt purchased at moderate
firlcee. The dumps should be planted
n beds about nine inches apart in rows
which are two feet apart. The planting

The chives may also be planted in the
border of the Vegetable garden, and
: make an excellent permanent border
As a border plant the clumps should be
F Wanted about six Inches apart The
eaves will grow , thickly and form a
dense green mat
After the plants are once established
they require HtUe attentien, eeasional
watering in dry weather helping to keen
them fresh. It Is a good plan to break
tip and replant the border or beds everv
three or Tour years, aa the continued
cutting of the leaves for table use tends
to weaken tha plants. .

Keep a few empty clean bottles in

charming light through the woven
strands of sweet grass, of which they
are made,' and they are both inexpensive
and long-lived. The grass used In weav
ing them Is the same seen In the Cana

cate and delicious odor.
The pieces of grass are woven round
and round the shade, which is shaped
either with a circular base or one in
hexagonal form. From there the shade
slopes gradually, and It has a narrow
upstanairg- rinlsh at the top. The seams
are made by weaving in a coarser
grass, and at the top and bottom edge
a thicker kind, and one of a darker
shade of green gives a pretty and sub
stantial rim.
There is no striking color - in these
shades, the grasses blending pale yellow
and light green tones in such a way
that the general effect is neither the
one nor the other color. For this rea
son sweet grass shades can be uaed in
any dining room. Their freshness makes
them particularly attractive for summer
use. They are offered In several sixes,
ranging from the small candla shade to
the larger ones Intended to cover an

Savoy Cabbage. .
THESE varieties of cabbage are
largely used In Europe. They
are marked by a peculiar, flue
crumbling of all the leaves, particularly
those of tha head. They are generally

cabbage, more tender, finer In texture
and of more delicate flavor. The plants
are better able to resist cold but do
not give so large a yield of heads and
the rheada are less solid and cannot

The Italians use a great deal of
sweet-fennel, serving it uncoogea. eun
er before the dinner as an appetiser, or
at the salad course. It is never drest
however, salt being the only seasoning
that It requires. The English house
wife is practically the only Individual
who prepares it for the table by cook
ing it, and the following Is her recipe:
Blanch two stalks of sweet fennel in
boiling salted water, dry with a cloth -t
and cut into small pieces. Blend two
ounces of butter and a- heaping table
spoonful of flour In a saucepan, stir
until well mixed, then add about half
a pint of hot water, and continue stir

to taste with salt and pepper: move te

of the shallot as a seasoning material,
but there are comparatively few who

appetizing combination, and this Is the
manner fn which it may be prepared:

teaspoonful of finely minced parsley.

Fads and Fashions.
NEW TOKK, May !. There is a de
lightful showing of evening gowns
for. summer wear and the notice
able feature upon them la the use of
spangles , and embroidery... This ? orna
mentation makes the gowns particular
ly effective because of the fine work
and the novel and artlstie design. The
gowns of a short. time ago that wero
spangled all over are entirely, out of
atyle for they have been copiea in too
many cheap Imitations.- Combinations
of several, different spanglf-a, whsu
artistically put together are chnrming.
Indeed, and here -Is the chance for or
iginality In designing. ? ,
Rather than the flat spangle is chosen
the pearl, silver or crystal drop and the
jet drops are need on white or black
The black and white net gowns are love
ly when lined with the very faintest
color, or mere suggestion of color rather
than one that Is noticeable. These
spangled and net gowns make the dainti
est of summer dresses. They are light
and appear to be simple, yet truly are
the most expensive of evening gowns.
Satin, velvet, silk or lace are used as
trimmings with charming- effects, aad
yet the epangles'are sufficient decora
tion, especially in the combination of
several different kinds. v
There" cannot be too much said about
the millinery of this season for the hat
tha on. lmnortant finish of any toll-
ietta The variety offered us is greater
than ever before ana it win oe noucea
that all shapes are set squarely on the
bead, the bandeau, which formally tilt
ed, the hat backward or sideways, hav
ing entirely disappeared. The Immense
Oatnsborough Is the truly Parisian hat.
A particularly striking efefct that is
much favored on this hat Is the frill of
lace plaited under the brim which falls
over the hair in a charming; manner. The
Leghorn hats drooping or upturned are
very fashionable when trimmed with a
wealth Of ojirled paradise or fluffy fea
thers over the crown or with flowers
and aigrettes. ?
- Small openwork j hats are very smart
and those lined with a contrasting color
are decidedly chic.' One small black hat
of openwork was seen unea wun cerise.
Large straw pompoms of black and ce
rise were Disced around the crown and
an Immense aigrette. Soft, pliable chip,
satin -straw, crinoline Draia or zancy
net are now seen. The sailor Shapes are
very pretty when - the under brim is of
a-contrasting color. The sailor shapes
have extremely, high crowns and also
tea smaller hats where the brim reus on
one side. It really seema as though, the
crowns on the summer hats could not
be too high or too wide. , r .

. Ice for Summer,
i'- For a plain ice which is the basis of
all ices, boll a cupful of sugar and two
cupfuls of water to a smooth syrup; add
fruit juice, or lemon or both; strain,
cool, add two egg whites unbeaten and
freer a. A little lemon Juice is always
really necessary with other iruus to
bring out the flavor.
Pineapple can be picked up very fine
or put through a press and addsd to
the plain , ice when It Is half f rosea;
or currant Juice may be put in, or rasp
berry Juice, or. Indeed, anything one
happens to nave at hand. ,
A third summer dessert Is called
mousse, and this, too, is easy to maae
and it has the advantage over the plain
cream and ice In that It does not need

be flavored with coffee or fruits, or It

as serviceable as serge and other sum

walking suit of khaki a few days ago.
The popular cutaway was shown in the
jacket, with the center back and also
tbe side seams let up a few inches, the
former being pointed. ,
AU the edges of the coat were bound
with golden brown cotton braid. The
side front seams run up to the shoulder
showing a long, narrow vest of pink
cretonne. The sleeves were the three
quarter length and finished, with a turn
back cuff. The , skirf was the plain
five-gored model with no fullness and
closing under an inverted box plait in
the center back. A deep bias band edged
with braid was the only trimming on
the skirt- ' - . .
Neckwear is always interesting to
talk about for there is some new style or
finishing touch being shown every lit
tle while. There are narrow ties of vel
vet ribbon or striped bias taffeta that
are tied in a smart bow In front with
the ends several inches long, pointed
and finished with a gold tassel or with
a fringe of colored beads. These are
worn at the base of a high laoe stock
and the color snouia maton some acces-ant-v

A new fad Is tiny beads knitted In a
design and decorated with fringe, this
being passed around the neck once. Huge
bows ana irms or net nave nemsuicnea,
lace or embroidered edges. These are
worn-with stocks of tucked net. The
very newest neckwear Is made of the
